I wish that at the student transfer A.R.T conference they would have explained to the students about parking permits.

Christine

I wish I has known more about available scholarships and ways to pay for my education.

I which I would have know the location of this school, not geographically but, neighborhood wise. This school is located in the middle of the very poor neighborhood, where a lot of robbery, rape, and assaults happen.

Before starting college you hear that if you fail, no one cares because they have your money for the classes. So beginning school in my mind, I had to work hard and pass because I didnot want to waste my money and hender my financial aid opportunities. But instead I wish I would have entered college with the need to success for a career purposes. University of Houston is not a school like that at all. They are willing to do anything they can to help if they see you are on the verge of failing. They honor their students.

I wish that I had known what a wonderful school, University of Houston is. Its diversity, its students and its people make University of Houston perfect for me. I could not have asked for a better school for myself. I love its people, I enjoy the friendly competition and adore the very well qualified professors. Its broad range of programs also allow students to find a place for themeselves. Its a great place to learn. I wish I had known this and prepared myself ahead for a great school such as this one.

I wish i had known how to choose your classes, I thought you had to choose your classes according to an explicit schedule type, but i found out you could take a freshmen level class such as chemistry as a sophomore or junior

Alex

More math.

One thing I find frustrating is that part-time students have to pay fees like full-time students every semester, even though we are not able to use the facilites we are paying for. I think there needs to be accommodations made for part-time students, to not carry that extra financial burden. Every increasing tuition rates and fees are also very frustrating. Education should be free!!

I wish someone had warned me of the constant love and encouragement that I would be welcomed with on my first day on campus. I was overwhelmed with how helpful and kind everyone was to the up coming freshman of 2009. What I thought was going to be a awkward and lonely first week of class was more of a enlightening and fun filled week where I met people I have became extremely close with.
